[linux-dvb] Linux + dvb. dvb0 - device not found

[Mike <misha_z@hpro.org>]

Hello linux-dvb,

I have a problem. After a successful compilation and installation of loadable
kernel module, the device dvb0 is still not found.
I am using Linux RH 7.x and TechniSat SkyStar1 DVB card.
#cat /proc/pci
...
  Bus 0, device 17, function 0:
    Multimedia controller: Philips SAA7146 (rev 1).
      Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 10. Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=15. Max Lat=38.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xdc001000 [0xdc001000].
...

Using the kernel 2.4.18 I compiled the driver siemens_dvb-0.9.4 that I downloaded from the linuxtv.org.
#make; make insmod - it was successful, but in the end the device dvb0 is not found.

downloaded from the www.linuxdvb.tv/.

I used different drivers: dvb-20021122 dvb-20020506 dvb-20020105 dvb-20011016
siemens_dvb-0.9.4-2002-06-23  siemens_dvb-0.8.2 siemens_dvb-0.9.4 siemens_dvb-0.9-20010921.
All drivers were successfully compiled in different kernels:
2.4.9, 2.4.18, 2.4.19, 2.4.20-rc2, 2.5.45, 2.5.47-ac6.
But in all the cases the device dvb0 was not found.
In the end, I came back to the initial configuration (kernel 2.2.19) and
compiled the driver siemens-0.6.x. After that the device dvb0 was found!

Does somebody use TecniSat SkyStar 1 DVB card with a kernel version like 2.4.x, 2.5.x?
I will be grateful for any advice.
